Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high temperature alloy rods, and more particularly to low-cost, highly homogeneous, large-diameter powder high temperature alloy rods and a hot extrusion method thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] Powdered high-temperature alloys are high-temperature alloys manufactured using the powder metallurgy process. In powder metallurgy, powder particles are formed by rapid solidification of a small amount of liquid. Component segregation is limited to the size of the powder particles, eliminating the macrosegregation seen in traditional casting. At the same time, the powder obtained after rapid solidification has the advantages of uniform structure and fine grains, significantly improving the alloy's mechanical properties and thermal processing performance. Powdered high-temperature alloys are essential materials for key components such as turbine disks in modern high-performance aircraft engines. Due to their high degree of alloying, narrow hot-working window, and high deformation resistance, they require cladding extrusion.

[0003] The hot extrusion process is a processing process that applies high temperature and pressure to raw materials to change their properties. It combines the characteristics of hot compression and hot working deformation, which can significantly improve the metallurgical quality of the alloy and enhance and realize the alloy's potential performance. The alloy bars produced by the conventional hot extrusion method of powder high temperature alloy bars have small alloy bar diameters, uneven bar structures, large grain size variations, low bar material utilization rates, high production costs, and cannot be extruded into open billets with large extrusion ratios. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above analysis, the embodiments of the present application aim to provide a large-diameter powder high temperature alloy bar and a hot extrusion method therefor to solve at least one of the following problems associated with the conventional hot extrusion method of powder high temperature alloy bar: 1) the diameter of the alloy bar produced by the conventional hot extrusion method of powder high temperature alloy bar is small, making it impossible to produce a large-diameter bar; 2) the structure of the alloy bar produced by the conventional hot extrusion method of powder high temperature alloy bar is non-uniform and there is a large difference in grain size; 3) the utilization rate of the alloy bar produced by the conventional hot extrusion method of powder high temperature alloy bar is low, resulting in high production costs; and 4) the extrusion open billet cannot be extruded with a large extrusion ratio using the conventional hot extrusion method of powder high temperature alloy bar.

[0005] The objectives of this application are mainly achieved by the following technical solutions: Meanwhile, the present application provides a low-cost, highly homogeneous, large-diameter hot extrusion method for high-temperature alloy rods, the method comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step S1: The high-temperature alloy powder is injected into a vacuum stainless steel shell jacket and subjected to hot isostatic pressing to obtain a powder high-temperature alloy ingot.

[0007] Step S2: Weld a front pad and a rear pad to the front end and rear end of the powder high temperature alloy ingot, respectively, to obtain a first extrusion billet.

[0008] Step S3: After preheating the first extrusion billet to 150-200°C, an antioxidant paint is uniformly applied to the surface of the first extrusion billet, and the first extrusion billet is heated to 1040-1150°C and kept at that temperature to obtain a second extrusion billet.

[0009] Step S4: Spray lubricant evenly on the surface of the second extrusion billet, place a glass mat on the front end of the second extrusion billet, and put it into a preheated extrusion die and extrude it to obtain an extruded bar.

[0010] Step S5: The extruded rod is air-cooled to room temperature, and the non-stationary segments at the head and tail are mechanically cut off to obtain a powder high-temperature alloy rod.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S2, the axial cross section of the front pad is an axisymmetrical quasi-trapezoid shape with two arc-shaped sides.

[0012] Furthermore, the arc degree of the arc is 30° to 35°.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S3, the warming time is 7 to 24 hours.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S4, the extrusion die is preheated to a temperature of 150 to 200°C.

[0015] Furthermore, in step S4, the extrusion die angle is 90° to 130°.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S4, the extrusion speed is 20 to 25 mm / s.

[0017] Furthermore, in step S4, the extrusion ratio is (8-9):1.

[0018] On the other hand, the present application further provides a low-cost, highly homogeneous, large-diameter powder high-temperature alloy bar manufactured by the above-mentioned hot extrusion method.

[0019] Furthermore, the diameter of the low-cost, highly homogeneous, large-diameter powder high-temperature alloy bar is ≧300 mm.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present application can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects: [Effects of the Invention]

[0021] 1. The hot extrusion method for high-temperature alloy rods in this application can reduce the preheating and spraying temperatures of the antioxidant paint, and spray after preheating at a low temperature, controlling the paint to dry slowly, and then raising the temperature to a high temperature, thereby ensuring that the antioxidant paint is not easily peeled off. The synergistic effect of the extrusion die angle and extrusion speed can ensure a large extrusion ratio and uniform structure of the extruded rods, and phenomena such as engine stalls can be avoided.

[0022] 2. The hot extrusion method of high-temperature alloy bars of this application, by using a specific extrusion front pad structure setting and synergistic effects with other process parameters in the hot extrusion process, can significantly reduce the degree of wrapping of the extruded front section bar compared with traditional hot extrusion methods, thereby eliminating the "mushroom-shaped head", thereby improving material utilization and reducing production costs, and the material utilization rate is >80%.

[0023] 3.

[0028] Preferred embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application but to explain the principles of the present application together with the embodiments of the present application.

[0029] The present application provides a low-cost, highly homogeneous, large-diameter powder high-temperature alloy bar hot extrusion method, said method comprising the steps of:

[0030] Step S1: The high-temperature alloy powder is injected into a vacuum stainless steel shell jacket and subjected to hot isostatic pressing to obtain a powder high-temperature alloy ingot.

[0031] Step S2: Weld a front pad and a rear pad to the front end and rear end of the powder high temperature alloy ingot, respectively, to obtain a first extrusion billet.

[0032] Step S3: After preheating the first extrusion billet to 150 to 200°C, an anti-oxidation coating is uniformly applied to the surface of the extrusion billet, and the billet is heated to 1040 to 1150°C and kept at that temperature to obtain a second extrusion billet. Step S4: Spray lubricant evenly on the surface of the second extrusion billet, place a glass mat on the front end of the second extrusion billet, and put it into a preheated extrusion die and extrude it to obtain an extruded bar.

[0033] Step S5: The extruded rod is air-cooled to room temperature, and the non-stationary segments at the head and tail are mechanically cut off to obtain a powder high-temperature alloy rod.

[0034] Specifically, in step S1, the high temperature alloy powder is one of FGH4095, FGH4096, FGH4720Li, FGH4097, FGH4098 and fourth generation powder high temperature alloys, and the hot isostatic pressing conditions can be conventional hot isostatic pressing conditions according to the type of powder high temperature alloy to obtain a powder high temperature alloy ingot.

[0035] Specifically, in step S2, the cross section of the front pad is an axisymmetric, quasi-trapezoidal shape with two arc-shaped sides, and the arc angle is 30° to 35°. Exemplary arc angles are 31°, 32°, 33°, and 34°. When the front section of the extrusion billet is deformed, the metal at the edges and the metal at the center deform differently, resulting in the front pad wrapping around the bar and reducing the utilization rate of the bar. The axial cross section of the front pad of the present application is arc-shaped. Compared to conventional front pads (which have a circular axial cross section), the front pad with the arc angle significantly reduces the degree to which the front section of the extruded bar is wrapped around, eliminating the "mushroom-shaped head." The adoption of a front pad with this structure improves the utilization rate of the front section bar.

[0036] Specifically, in step S2, the radial shape and area of ​​the front pads and rear pads are made to match those of the ingot, and the thickness of the front pads and rear pads is set to 100 to 400 mm.

[0037] Specifically, in step S3, the first extrusion billet is preheated to 150 to 200°C, and then an antioxidant paint is uniformly applied to the surface of the first extrusion billet, and the paint is controlled to dry slowly.The billet is then placed in a heating furnace, heated to 1040 to 1150°C, and kept warm for 7 to 24 hours, making the antioxidant paint less likely to peel off. Illustratively, the preheating temperatures are 160°C, 170°C, 180°C, and 190°C, the heating temperatures are 1050°C, 1060°C, 1070°C, 1080°C, 1090°C, 1100°C, 1110°C, 1120°C, 1130°C, and 1140°C, and the heat-retention times are 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours, 11 hours, 12 hours, 13 hours, 14 hours, 15 hours, 16 hours, 17 hours, 18 hours, 19 hours, 20 hours, 21 hours, 22 hours, 23 hours, and 24 hours. The antioxidant paint is any one of P35-a3, TE61-20, and ZS1051.

[0038] Specifically, in step S4, the extrusion die is preheated before extrusion. The preheating temperature is 150-200°C. For example, the die preheating temperature is 160°C, 170°C, 180°C, or 190°C. The die material itself has corresponding strength within a certain temperature range. The higher the preheating temperature, the smaller the extrusion resistance of the die itself, making the billet extrusion process smoother. However, if the temperature is too high, the die will completely lose its strength and be easily damaged. Considering all factors, the die preheating temperature should be 150-200°C.

[0039] After the second extrusion billet is removed from the furnace, a lubricant is sprayed evenly and directly onto the surface of the second extrusion billet without cooling. A glass mat is placed at the front end of the second extrusion billet and the billet is extruded into a preheated extrusion die at a die angle of 90° to 130°, an extrusion speed of 20 to 25 mm / s, and an extrusion ratio of (6 to 9):1 to obtain an extruded rod. Preferably, the extrusion ratio is (8 to 9):1. Illustratively, the extrusion die angles are 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, 120°, and 125°, the extrusion speeds are 20.5 mm / s, 21 mm / s, 21.5 mm / s, 22 mm / s, 22.5 mm / s, 23 mm / s, 23.5 mm / s, 24 mm / s, and 24.5 mm / s, and the extrusion ratios are 6.5:1, 7:1, 7.5:1, 8:1, 8.5:1, and 9:1.

[0040] Furthermore, if the extrusion die angle is too small, the extrusion force will increase, and the extrusion force of the press will increase sharply. Due to the principle of action and reaction, the pressure acting on the jacket and ingot will increase, and the metal flow rate of the bar ingot and jacket material will increase, generating a large amount of heat in a short period of time. After the bar ingot undergoes dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization, the grain size of the bar surface will be significantly larger than that of the core structure, resulting in poor structure uniformity. If the extrusion die angle is too large, the extrusion force will act on the jacket, causing a long funnel-shaped defect at the tail of the bar and jacket, resulting in low material utilization. If the extrusion speed is too small, the original grain boundaries of the powder alloy will not be crushed sufficiently, resulting in insufficient recrystallization, and the grain size of the bar will not meet the standard. Due to the slow extrusion speed, the alloy will have a long recrystallization time, giving the grains enough time to grow, resulting in coarse and uneven grains. The large grain size will not meet the subsequent production standards. If the extrusion speed is too high, the bar ingot will gain too much energy per unit time, resulting in more recrystallization nuclei and the appearance of many fine grains. However, the large amount of heat generated by deformation will result in slow heat dissipation, leading to the appearance of large grains in the structure and the bar structure not meeting the standard. In this application, the synergistic effect of the extrusion die angle and extrusion speed can be used to ensure a large extrusion ratio and uniform structure of the extruded bar, thereby avoiding problems such as engine stalls. In actual operation, the extrusion in this application can be carried out using a 680MN extrusion-die forging dual-function unit.

[0041] Specifically, in step S5, the extruded bar is air-cooled to room temperature, and the transient segments of the head and tail are mechanically cut off to obtain a powder high-temperature alloy bar. The method of the present application can eliminate the "mushroom-shaped head" and significantly reduce the funnel-shaped defect in the tail of the bar, so that only a small amount of the head and tail can be removed to obtain the corresponding bar.

[0042] The present application further provides a low-cost, highly homogeneous, large-diameter powder high-temperature alloy bar manufactured by the above-mentioned hot extrusion method, wherein the diameter of the large-diameter powder high-temperature alloy bar is ≧300mm, and the low-cost, highly homogeneous, large-diameter powder high-temperature alloy bar has a core grain size of 8-11 grades, an edge grain size of 8-10 grades, and a grain size difference of ≦1 grade. Example 1

[0043] This embodiment provides a low-cost, highly homogeneous, large-diameter powder high-temperature alloy hot extrusion method, which includes the following steps: Step S1: The FGH4096 high-temperature alloy powder is injected into a vacuum stainless steel shell jacket (the cross section of the jacket is rectangular), and then hot isostatically pressed under argon gas protection to obtain a powder high-temperature alloy ingot, where the hot isostatic pressing temperature is 1160°C, the pressure is 130 MPa, and the size of the ingot is φ870mm.

[0044] Step S2: Weld a front pad and a rear pad to the front and rear ends of the powder high-temperature alloy ingot, respectively, to obtain a first extrusion billet. The structural schematic diagram of the extrusion billet is as shown in Figure 1, and the arc degree corresponding to the arc shape of the two sides is 32°.

[0045] Step S3: After preheating the first extrusion billet to 180°C, an anti-oxidation paint is uniformly applied to the surface of the first extrusion billet, and the first extrusion billet is placed in a heating furnace and heated to 1080°C and kept at that temperature for 10 hours to obtain a second extrusion billet.

[0046] Step S4: Spray glass powder evenly on the surface of the second extrusion billet, place a glass mat on the front end of the second extrusion billet, and put it into an extrusion die preheated to 180°C and extrude it to obtain an extruded rod, where the extrusion die angle is 100°, the extrusion speed is 22 mm / s, and the extrusion ratio is 8.4:1.

[0047] Step S5: The extruded bar is air-cooled to room temperature, and the non-steady segments of the head and tail are mechanically cut off to obtain a powder high-temperature alloy bar, in which a length of 280 mm is cut off from the head and a length of 330 mm is cut off from the tail to obtain a high-temperature alloy bar with a diameter of 300 mm and a steady segment length of 4400 mm.
